PRISONER OF LOVE: Would-be assassin John Hinckley with Cynthia Bruce.Courtesy of The Daily

He’s crazy in love.

John Hinckley, the lunatic who in 1981 shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan to impress “Taxi Driver” actress Jodie Foster, has fallen in love in the mental asylum where he’s been living for almost three decades, The Daily reported yesterday.

The flabby, 55-year-old would-be assassin was spotted holding hands with former psychiatric patient Cynthia Bruce, 45, on the grounds of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, outside Washington.

The pair was recently photographed spending an hour together enjoying a cozy sunny afternoon sharing snacks and soda.

Hinckley is believed to have been dating Bruce since October.

On the eve of what would have been President Reagan’s 100th birthday today, Bruce confessed to The Daily that dating the notorious gunman was “a positive thing” and that she “can’t get caught up with what people think of me.”
